The logs do sometimes have an error that the connection died, and I guess
it is impossible to determine if the message was delivered or not.
The think is, our subscribers (to BRIEFME.COM) don't care if the reason for
the duplicates is their provider not having implemented a de-duping system,
they blame us.
Anyone who can help us solve this one is a real hero (and will be treated
to a really nice dinner when they are in NYC).
